He also pledged to reopen the US consulate in Jerusalem for Palestinians, which was closed during the Trump administration. Another of his promises was to deal with the expansion of illegal Israeli settlemes, which creates more instability and diminishes the prospect of realizing the 2-state solution.
According to this American senator, Biden “couldn’t take any purposeful action to impleme these commitmes during his service” and his governme even at a time when the Zionist-Palestinian conflict reached a boiling poi and then led to the October 7 operation by Hamas against the occupied territories.

“Although the preside’s action to travel to Israel to embrace its people at a time of such turmoil and affirm Israel’s inalienable right to defend itself and end the threat of Hamas was the right thing to do, he failed to take effective steps to apply American leadership to “The aim is to achieve its declared goals, which was to end the war, release the prisoners and impleme the “The Next Day” program in order to create a path forward to establish lasting peace in the region.”

Compensation for failed policies in the remaining period

Preside Biden has little time to act. But even at this poi, it’s importa that he does something, even with the possibility of Trump changing course. The United States must send a strong message to the people of Israel, the Palestinians and the world that it will not remain sile in the face of the Netanyahu cabinet’s failure to establish peace in the West Asian region and ignore the main roots of the conflict, which is the need for security and the right to self-determination of the Israelis and Palestinians. “

“In addition to these measures, the Biden governme should ban the import of any goods from settlemes in the occupied territories,” Holen said. It should also coinue to support UNRWA and encourage our allies to support its actions, especially in light of the Knesset’s rece vote to ban the organization’s activities.”
In the final part of his note, this American senator wrote: “Finally and most importaly, the Biden administration must accept the state of Palestine according to the conditions set by the United States.” These conditions should include the dismaling of the financial system of Faslatin self-governing organizations for “paying prisoners”. All these actions should be done quickly, because the Palestinian Authority has prepared a draft law in this regard, while according to American law, direct financial support to the Palestinian Authority is prohibited uil this financial system is in place.
